Coin TricksThomas (Tom) Osborne... This latest pamphlet on coin magic consists of 18 coin tricks, two coin "flourishes," and one item that comes pretty close to juggling. There are 30 pages of text, illustrated with 131 line drawings. These illustrations are unusually small, but in general do a very good job of supplementing the written word. The booklet is neatly printed on satisfactory paper, and is stapled in a soft-board cover. The left-hand pages are set up in double columns, the right-hand in lines which extend clear across the page. We cannot see that this arrangement represents an advance, over the orthodox style of composition; indeed, it has the disadvantage of separating the explanation of each trick from the description of its effect.
Many of these effects - and this is true of coin tricks in general - are more suitable for close work than for presentation on stages or platforms; and several fall distinctly into the after dinner class. Among the most interesting items explained by Mr. Osborne are Coin Production (two playing cards are freely shown, placed together, and made to yield up several coins, one at a time); Catch It (a coin in a glass tumbler is caused to penetrate the center of a napkin that has been stretched over the mouth of the tumbler); A Double Pass (two coins pass, secretly and separately, into an empty... | ★★★★★ $7 to wish listPDF |
Coincidence and FateDavid Devlin
To significantly improve on an effect by Max Maven is a hard thing to do for anybody. But David has achieved this feat here with his Coincidence and Fate. One could even say that he has "out-maxed Maven!" - Chris Wasshuber
A shuffled ESP deck is placed on the table. A spectator rolls a pair of dice until satisfied. Using the total on the dice, the spectator deals down into the deck, and places the card at that number off to the side unseen. The deck is reassembled, and a second spectator repeats the process. When the two randomly selected cards are turned over, they match. The performer explains... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listPDF |

DarwinGerard ZittaA classic mathematical principle with two piles.
This is an old mathematical principle used in many card effects. Most of the effects were
done with 52 cards. But the principle works with any number of cards (or business cards). This manual explains the principle in detail and generalizes the principle. It allows you to predict the last card that will be left after dealing two piles and eliminating the same pile every time. After reading this ebook, you will be able to use any number of cards. The original pile can be any size, the discarded pile can be chosen, and the final card can be... | ★★★★★ $10 to wish listPDF |

... - ... at everyone of them that sticks his head out of his hole...and I never miss a shot."), who whistles for his horse, whose name is Lucky Luke - all characteristics shared by Dailey's original and the later comics.
- Name of Luke's horse
Arthur called Luke’s horse Joker after the joker in a deck of cards. (Dailey was a fearsome poker player.) Morris called him Jolly Jumper. Knowing that the Joker in a pack of cards is in Europe more commonly known as the 'Jolly Joker', we can understand how Joker became Jolly Joker and finally Jolly Jumper.
[To the history of the "Jolly Joker": The extra "Joker" card is believed to have been invented by American Euchre players who, when modifying the rules sometime during the 1860s, decided that an extra trump card was required. Originally he was called "The Best Bower" and then later "The Jolly Joker".
These Jokers, or extra cards, were first introduced into American packs around 1863, but took a little longer to reach English packs, in around 1880. One British manufacturer...

Bold MentalismMatteo FilippiniMatteo Filippini's lecture notes dedicated to bold mentalism, the brazen, reckless one. Boldness is a characteristic that, perhaps more than anything else, distinguish mentalism not only from other similar forms of entertainment but also from 'mentalism' that wants to be perfect at all costs. To best explain bold approaches and methods, Matteo describes in detail five routines, simple in methods but absolutely effective for real audiences.
